A city of dirt and dust,
A breeze rolls in, I'm taken with the gust
Where am I today?
Where will I be tomorrow?

The clock is moving ever faster,
I hear blurred words and fast-forward laughter
What am I doing?
What does it mean?

Their fast voices and unfocused faces,
Pointing their fingers in different places
Who are they to chose?
Who am I to obey?

Walking away from the place where I grew,
It's become too small to hide here with you
How much has it changed?
How much have I changed?

The future holds something for me,
Things I don't know, the things that might be
When will I know?
When will I see?

Stumbling around with a dazed expression
Trying to find my bearings, a different direction
Why do I feel so aged?
Why does this feel okay?

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!
You described very well what it feels like to be in that situation. Confused and learning who you are. Scared and unsure, but at the same time, okay with growing and looking forward to learning who you are.
The confusion is overwhelming and you described that perfectly.
The anticipation is almost unbearable and you presented that in such a way that had the reader anticipating what was to come.
I couldn't help but think of something I had wrote called "20-year-old eyes" just recently, I wrote it while reflecting on the time you described. The chaos and confusion of finding out who you are and what life is all about.
Good work. Keep up the writing
